MPNE - The burden of melanoma
Motivatie
A melanoma diagnosis means a considerable burden for patients and their family members.
Obiective
We would like to better understand the burden melanoma causes, how it shapes people’s thinking and what helps them cope with it.
Metoda
This study captures to understand a melanoma patient’s or carer’s mental adjustment to cancer, their risk and benefit preferences in treatments and their experiences about impact and coping with the disease.
This is a study conducted by the Melanoma Patient Network Europe, a Share4Rare partner.

We see in our community the distress melanoma causes. We need to be able to better support patients and those who care for them.
Gilly Spurrier, founder of Mélanome France
When my sister was diagnosed with melanoma I looked for treatment options for her. Need really changes how one thinks about what is important.
Violeta Astratinei, founder of Melanom Romania
Melanoma is a medical and a mental challenge. Better understanding its mental burden will help us to better advocate for what matters to patients.
